Default Grapes

I have just moved house and so all that is growing was left by the
previous occupant. One plant is a grapevine that started to grow a few
months ago. It is rooted outside and grows into the greenhouse. It now
covers one side of the greenhouse completely and most of the joining
sides. It has no sign of any developing fruit.

Am I being impatient?

Flowers are indeed late this year but not that late so there should be some
sign, they normally form within 3 or 4 leaves of the main trunk from where
the shoot is coming from.

Much will depend on the variety, its age, and what the previous owner did to
it last winter when it was pruned

What sort of thickness is the main trunk?
